关于中国当代设计批评的思考

Thoughts on Contemporary Chinese Design Criticism

笔者从2003年底在中国艺术研究院《美术观察》杂志主持《设计批评》栏目,至今已有17年的时间。除此之外,多年来作为作者,笔者也一直在参与设计批评领域,除了写作了一些设计方面的历史、理论研究专著之外,还独立或合作出版过《设计观点》[1]《中国当代平面设计研究》[2]等设计批评方面的著作。设计批评这个话题非常大。笔者在北大开设一门一学期的研究生课程《广告批评》,换句话说,仅仅是设计批评里面的广告批评,就可以用一学期的课程来讲述。所以,本文拟采取“漫谈”的方式,对笔者自己在设计批评领域里的心得进行总结,只求点到为止,不作深入展开,以促进学界同行的交流和讨论。

The author has been hosting the column Design Criticism in the magazine Art Observation of Chinese National Academy of Arts since the end of 2003.It has been 17 years.In addition,as a writer,the author has been involved in the field of design criticism for many years.In addition to writing some monographs on the history and theoretical research of design,the author has also independently or co-published several works on design criticism,such as Design View and Research on Contemporary Graphic Design in China.Design criticism is a big topic.The author offers a one-semester postgraduate course Advertising Criticism in Peking University.In other words,just advertising criticism within design criticism alone is worth a semester's worth of teaching.Therefore,this paper intends to adopt a"ramble"approach to summarize the author's own experience in the field of design criticism without going into depth,so as to promote the exchange and discussion among academic peers.
